Kirke Narrows

The Kirke Narrows is only 200M wide. The Resolution has a 136M beam. Again we waited until slack tide and launched the soundings zodiacs prior to going through with the aid of the local pilot.

Condors (upper left corner) escorted us to the Kirke Narrows

Looking from the stern after avoiding the Lee cliff and making it through.

Once safely through, the ship gathered up the zodiacs and off we went.

When I visited the bridge later, Capt Martin soberly said that, "the wind did become an issue."

The weather improved as we went further down the channel
